Extract of a Letter from St. Salvadore, dated the 13th of February :—" The Nimble arrived here on the sth from Cape Coast, after being pion dertd of part of her cargo, to the amount of 2,0001. by a privateer. She brings advice that the Cathe rine and Union were off Cape Three Points on the 13th of December ; the latter, having had her mast damaged by lightning, was to refit at Prince's Island. The Diana was at Cape Coast on the 18th of December, after having been plundered of property to the amount of 40001. The Nathan was condemned at Prince's island, not being seaworthy ; Captain ROBERTS dead...— The Whim was at Prince's Island, having been plundered, and lost ft boat and four hands on Benin Bar." The brig Messenger, which was dispatched from Boston (U. S.) on the 29th of December last, to convey relict to the sufferers at Newfound land, arrived at St. John's in 24 days.— Had she been one day later she would not have got in, as the harbour became im mediately after entirely frozen up. The relief was most seasonable, and the general ,feeling of gratitude which it excited in the Settlement proved that it was bestowed among deserving objects. A public meeting of the inhabitants was called, and an address of thanks enthusiasti cally, voted to the Committee of Boston.— " you will not," it states, " conceive from what we have said, that we are not distressed : the supplies to which we have alluded, have indeed removed the fears of absolute famine, but they do not afford us the means of rebhilding our houses, of replacing our furniture, our clothes, our fuel, or even our provision. It is here that your bounty appears as truly valuable : it removes our fears—it supplies our immediate wants and by thus affording us relief, contributed _towards i estoring us to our former standing in society." The Messenger sailed on her return to Boston on he 8: h February, and arrived salt there on the 4th of March. POETRY. QUADRILLES. IMITATION OF COLLINS's ODE TO THE PASSIONS. :Supposed to be written by one of the Authors of RCJtCTEI► AnntZESSES.) When DANCING, in the form of PAYNE, O'er England first commenced her Reign, The PASSIONS she with ardour fills, And sends them all to learn Quadrilles.— Twirling, twisting, springing, -whisking, • Possessed with all the rage of frisking, By turns they caught the airy hound, And now she wheeled them round and round-.. Till once 'tis said with zeal they fired, Or by Saint Vitus were inspir'd; Each one, amid the task of jumps, With fury seized a pair of pumps— And as they all had learned to dance The Steps of England, Spain, and France; They swore she should nn longer drill it, But all stand up and they'd Quadrille it. First, Fear put forth her foot to try, The puzzling mazes of Etd, But back recoiled—Alas for why? Bewildered in the Ballota. Next Anger rtutit'd amid the throng, And boldly Massed o'er the plain, With one loig stride he sped along, And turned with hurried steps again; With sullen Glissade, wan Despair Attempts the measured time to fill, And, shrinking from so gay an air, Slowly abandons the Quadrille.— And thou, 0 Hope, with nimble feet, Turn the giddy Pirouette, And thro' les Echos' mazy round, Gaily trip and lightly bound.— And while thro' Puntalon she flies, The answering music to her step replies, And Hope enchanting bows, and waves her Ivory Fan. And longer had she danced, but through her gown, Revenge impatient kicked ; He threw his Chapeare-Bras in anger down, And with a quivering Toe, Darts thro' the Dos d Dos, — Confuses, feuettis, and Sissons, And with a strange Coupe demolishes Tanis. And tho' between each dire mistake, Pity instruction kind instils, And Offers cards of PATNS . S Quadrilles, He still his blundering course will take, While each strained snapping nerve Seems but sting from his leg.— Thy figures, jealousy, were sadly mixed, What anxious tremor did attend thy task, Of differing measures, tunes, and steps unfixed, "f was now a Ballotte and now a Pas de Basque. With Toe upraised, and slow Pas Grave, Pale Melancholy now advanced, Istid from the sable trimmings of her Robe, Put forth her foot and danced. But oh! how briskly sounds the sprightly Pouts, When Cheerfulness with Thin' forward flings, (Her dress of airy gauze composed) (Her sandals tied with rosy strings) A highfiirfitzr which sounded from afar, And Sport leapt lip and made an entre chat. Lastcame.loy with tour de Mains; He with Tans Turned his partner with a Contreterns, And as with flying feet he upward hound, Love framed with mirth a Moulinet so gay, That as he soared in air with high Sauté, Cut thousand papers ere he reached the ground. Oh ! Terpsichore, sprightly Muse! O'er us thy influence still diffuse; But come not with these jigs and leaps, These Quota. de Chat, and new learnt steps The Minuet once the school of grace, Is now considered out of place; Where's the simplicity mislaid, Which charmed us in tho White Cockade? And must we still in accents land, • Lament the loss of gay MACLEOD? 'Tis said the Country Dance of yore, Had less of skill—of spirit more; The sprightly tunes true measures beat, All danced—the Eyes, the Heart, the Feet. Then oh ! let D'Eurttxt: teach in iair l Revive our Nation's Dance again : These flauhting foreign airs forsake, And once for all Finale make. LORD STEWART. The following is given as a correct statement of what the SOLICITOR-GENERAL said respecting the fortune and property of this Nobleman on Friday last : " That his Lordship; as a Lord of the King's Bedchamber, and by filling two other offices, re ceived the annual salary of 3,7001. As Ambas sador at the Court of Vienna, he received a fur ther income of 12,0001. a year. He was also te nant for lite, in possession of certain landed pro perty in Londonderry, from which he received an annual sum of 2,000/. On his father's death, he would succeed to estates in Londonderry and Do negal of 8,0001. a year, with remainder to his issue male ; and if his brother, Lord CASTLE. KEAGH, should die without male issue, he would further succeed to estates in the county of Down, of not less than 18,0001. a year, with like re mainder to his issue male, and he had now a power of jointuring a wife with 1,0001. per an num, and of charging 10,0001. for younger chil dren on the Derry and Donegal estates ; and iL he should come into possession of the Down esoOs, would have further powers of jointurine•iind charging with younger children's fortunes ; and that his Lordship possessed personal propertr to the value of 26,0001. exceeding his debts." Lord ASHTOWN and W. C. DR CRESPIGNY are still employed in their canvass at Southampton. BENEVOLENT BALL: A - Ball took place on ktiday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, for ill, b e . nefit of St. Patrick's School of Industry and Asylum for unprotected leemalus - , in Charlotte.. street, Bloomsbury. - It was numerously and re. spectably attended, and perhaps there never was a public assembly which gave more general satis faction. The dancing commenced at an early hour, and it was nearly six o'clock in the morn ing before the company separated. The night being wet, about 120 children belongi►►g to the Charity, clothed m a neat uniform, were con-. tuyed by coaches to the tavern, and introduced tor a few moments, under circumstances which were truly interesting, but no cnllection was at tempted to be made. Thee well-dressed Ladies, who presented themselves under equivocal cir cumstances, were conducted to a carriage by a zealous friend of the Institution, in such a mai . ner as to save their teelingS, obtain their thanks, and establish a decided character for St. Patrick's Annual Ball. God Save the King, and several Irish airs, were played in the course of the even ing. That of th, Exile of Elio was answered by the follotiing verse tiow a voice in one of the galleries, and it was encored by the company in he hall : Whys' the wave bears me back to the land of my dwelling, The Asylum and School shall be fresh in my mind ; To those who are grateful I'll ever be telling Where the Daughters of Erin a shelter may find: Where CHARITY opens a door for the Stranger, To shield her from ignorance, error, and danger; Where no hostile feelings 'gainst Erin can change her, But desolate Virtue a shelter may find. Donations were received from Mr. Grattan, Mr. Canning, Mr. Roche, Mr. O'Keeffe, Colonel Burke, Mr. Allan, Mr. Bushell, Mr. de la Chau mette, Mr. Cottsman, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Hata, Mr. Veuner, Mr. Gernon, and other re spectable Gentlemen. Mr. Tennant, one of the Stewards, gave a cheque for a very handsome sum, with a warm assurance of his continued sip port. Mrs. Riordon and Miss Phillips received the most deserved and marked attention. These two English Ladies bestow instruction upon the female children of the Irish poor about St. Giles's, and ask nothing from the public, but for the clothing, rent of 'the school, books, and other necessaries. Much might be justly said of the band. tinder the direction of Mr. Davis, and of Mr. Ktodon, from Almacks, whose conduct as Mastrr or the Ceremonies afforded universal satis• faction. Although the severity of the weather, a OA of the House, aod the shortness of the time for preparation, were unfavourable to the effort, a very respectable foundation .as been laid for an Annual Ball, calculated to ctillect the friends and natives of the Sister Island, and pro• mote the morality of a neighbourhood which has long been a disgrace to that na no '. THE SCUT ISE! COLIYURATION. The objects of this most laudable Institution are in aid of the Virtuous Scottish Poor, who irom age, or infirmity, are " unable to work," and from- early education and independent feelings, are " to beg ashamed." On Sathrday. the friends and supporters of thiS Institution celebrated their spring festival at the Freemasoos"favern, Great Queen-street. At half past 5 o'clock, about 400 persons sat down to dinner. The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Met.. Yttl.n, V. P. in the Chair, supported on the right by &Ryan' Finkel, Esq. and on the left by Gene. ral BaDour. Colonel Bailey, and many other distinguished Officers of the Army,and Navy were present. Gow's band were seated in the music gallery, and played many delightful airs during the entertainment. After the cloth was removed, " Non nobis Domine" was sung in fine style by Messrs. Terry, Collier, Taylor, Broadhurst, and. Highruan. The donations and subscriptions exceeded 5801. ; amongst the names read by the Secretary were the Duke. of Clarence 101. ;. Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cohourg 101. the Duke of Montrose 211. ; Lord Melville 201, ; Lord James Murray 10/. ; the Rev. Mr. Boyle, of the Caledonian. Church, 10!. Colonel BAILEY and other Gentlemen made ex. cellent speeches approptiate to the occasion. The exertions of the Stewards,were successfully con spicoons, and - it is hoped their successors wil, follow so laudable an example. The conviviality' of the evening was extended to a late hour ; the Sons of Scotia appearing emulous on this festive occasion. PRIZES CAUSES.—Ou Sittlrday Ibe Lords COM• missioners of Appeals sat at the Cockpit, and heard several causes. None of them possessing much interest, except the Appeal in the case of the cap , tore of Moose Island, in the commencement of the late war with the United States. The cease had been heard twice before, and now came on oil farther proof ; When the King's Advocate and Dr. ADAMS were heard on the pert of the Captors, and Mr. WILLIAM HARRISON, Dr. ARNOLD, and Dr. JENNER for the claimants. The Court, atter a short deliberation, decreed restitution to the claimants, on payment of the taxed costs of the captors. This case excited considerable intcresc in British North America, and the result will doubtlessly afford much satisfaction there. The Electors of Bridgewater have invited Col. TYNTE to represent them in the next Parliament; which honour that Gentleman has publicly (le• dined ; various circumstances preventing now coming forward and accepting a seat, in Parlia tnent. _ _ On Saturday, about twelve o'clock, Lord and Lady HARCOURT, Lord CLARE, and Lord RUCK• SAVAGE, and about thirty other Ladies and Gentlemen, visited Newgate. They were con ducted through the different wards by Sheriff AL. DRRSON and Mr. BROWN, the Keeper, accompa• nied by that truly benevolent character, Mrs. FRY. After inspecting the whole establishment, and minutely examining the provision and accom modation which the unfortunate prisoners receiv. ed, they expressed the highest satisfaction at the various arrangements, complimented the. Keeper upon the cleanliness and good order ob served, and quitted the prison at about 2 o'clock: j , '
